The Perfect Gatlinburg Getaway

Do you remember when Gatlinburg was a quaint, quiet little place? At Hippensteal’s Mountain View Inn, it still is! The driveway turns left off Grassy Branch Road and the purple signs welcome you. The pleasant half-mile drive to the top that winds past meadows and other homesteads doesn’t prepare you for the view that awaits after the last turn. At the top of the mountain, the breath-taking panorama that stretches from Greenbriar Pinnacle to Mt. Harrison–with the majestic Mt. LeConte in the middle–greets the visitor. And the Inn has three wrap-around porches from which you can enjoy the majestic views.

Tranquility

From the moment you step onto our inviting porches, where rocking chairs beckon you to unwind, to the elegant lobby adorned with timeless charm, every corner exudes warmth and tranquility. With thirteen uniquely appointed bedrooms, each named after one of Vern’s captivating paintings, you'll find comfort, character, and a view of Mt. LeConte from every window.

The Heart of the Smokies

As part of the vibrant Great Smokies Arts and Crafts Community, our inn stands as a testament to the beauty and creativity that surrounds us. Only minutes away from Gatlinburg, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and other renowned attractions, your journey into the heart of the Smokies begins here.
